Re: Report your development frustrations via `mach rage`

I agree: "rage" is a bit aggressive. And as mconnor said on IRC, "rage" can have an alternate meaning in the brogrammer lexicon. Speaking of bikeshedding, I was looking at a thesaurus and one of the synonyms for "complain" is "yammer." As much as I want to rename it to `mach yammer`, I think I'll

Thanks a ton for your work on this! This makes working on rust code in gecko much easier, and makes importing libraries from the ecosystem simpler as well (if a tad tedious). On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 1:21 PM, Bobby Holley wrote: > +1. This is an important step forward. Thanks Nathan! > > On Mon, A

Report your development frustrations via `mach rage`

Sometimes when hacking on Firefox/Gecko you experience something that irks you. But filing a bug isn't appropriate or could be time consuming. You instead vent frustrations on IRC, with others around the figurative water cooler, or - even worse - you don't tell anyone. The Developer Productivity T

Re: flexbox issue in firefox

I believe you'd need to use a definite "height" value on the flex container or one of its descendants. (instead of -- or along with -- the explicit "max-height" that you're using right now) For example: https://jsfiddle.net/04o1kwfd/4/ (I suspect you may not want an explicit "height", but I don

DXR: How to encourage people to link to perma-links instead of plain ones?

tl;dr: plain DXR links quickly become outdated -> push people to use perma-links instead by adjusting the DXR UI. Long version: When a link like [1] - let's call it a plain link, the link copied from the URL bar - is added to e.g. bugzilla or an email, it will soon point to a wrong line when
